The preferred method for authentication to access Zscaler's oneAPI is OpenID Connect (OIDC). OIDC is an identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol and provides a modern, secure, and scalable way to authenticate users and services interacting with the API.

The study guide notes that OIDC supports flexible and secure authentication, making it the recommended choice for API access management within Zscaler’s platform.

A common use case for adopting Zscaler’s Data Protection is to prevent data loss to Internet and Cloud Apps. Data protection focuses on detecting and stopping sensitive data exfiltration or leakage to unauthorized destinations over web and cloud channels.

While reducing the attack surface and blocking malicious downloads are important security functions, they are addressed by other Zscaler capabilities such as threat protection. Secure connection to private apps is covered by ZPA, not data protection.

The study guide emphasizes that data protection’s primary purpose is to safeguard sensitive data from being lost or leaked to internet or cloud applications.

When tunnels (GRE/IPSec) are already configured from trusted locations (like branch offices), the recommended setting is “Tunnel v2.0” for on-trusted networks and “None” for off-trusted. This ensures that while on a corporate network, the Zscaler Client Connector uses the pre-established tunnels, but falls back to direct or other secure methods (like VPN or ZCC tunnel) when off-trusted. This aligns with Zscaler's best practices for hybrid deployment.

The TLS Decryption platform service intercepts and decrypts SSL/TLS sessions, granting Zscaler access to both headers and payloads of encrypted traffic for inspection and policy enforcement.

Browser Isolation enables secure access to potentially malicious or untrusted websites by rendering web pages in a remote containerized environment. This isolates any harmful content away from the user’s device, ensuring safe browsing without compromising endpoint security. This approach is especially effective for unknown or risky URLs where traditional content filtering might be insufficient.

Inline Data Protection is the process of inspecting data as it transits the network in real time, enforcing policies that prevent sensitive data from being leaked or transmitted improperly. Blocking the attachment of a sensitive document in webmail represents inline data protection because it intercepts and controls data transmission at the network level, stopping sensitive content before it leaves the organization.

Preventing copying to a USB drive is endpoint control and does not happen inline in network traffic. Preventing sharing in OneDrive is cloud access security broker (CASB) activity, often done through API integrations, not inline network control. Analyzing M365 tenant security is an audit or advisory activity, not real-time inline protection.

Therefore, the correct example of inline data protection in Zscaler's cloud security services is blocking the attachment of a sensitive document in webmail.

Firewall Filtering policies govern network‑level application traffic, so access to a Network Application is blocked by a Firewall Filtering rule.

Zscaler Risk360 quantifies risk by computing a risk score that is based on the number of remediations needed in comparison to the industry peer average. This approach allows organizations to understand their relative security posture by evaluating how many issues require remediation and benchmarking that against peers in the industry. This methodology enables prioritized risk management and provides context around the urgency and scale of remediation activities necessary to reduce risk.

Unlike simply counting risk events or focusing on time to mitigate, Risk360 uses this comparative remediation-based scoring to give a comprehensive view of risk. It does not compute separate scores for each of the four breach stages but rather aggregates remediation efforts and benchmarks them to industry standards.

This is confirmed by the study guide's explanation of Risk360's scoring method, highlighting the use of remediation counts compared to peers as the basis for risk scoring.
